The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned what it perceives as efforts to relocate the collation of votes from Brass Local Government Area (LGA) to Yenagoa in the Bayelsa gubernatorial poll. Brass, a stronghold for the APC, witnessed substantial voter turnout in support of their candidate, Timipre Sylva, raising suspicions about the intention behind the proposed relocation.
The APC, in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka, asserts that Brass LGA played a pivotal role as a major stronghold where voters overwhelmingly supported their candidate, Timipre Sylva. The party contends that the proposed move to Yenagoa for collation is a strategic and calculated maneuver aimed at manipulating the final results to favor the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
The concern expressed by the APC reflects the high stakes and intense competition characterizing the Bayelsa gubernatorial poll. The party’s claim of a deliberate attempt to alter the outcome underscores the importance of maintaining transparency and fairness in the electoral process.
